Mister Sinister is Nathaniel Essex a 19th Century victorian Scienstis obsessed with Mutants who was mutated by Apocalypse. His the leader of The Marauders and Nasty Boys.
Sinister has assumed many alter egos throught his life including Robert Windsor, Arnold Bocklin, Mike Milbury, Steven Shaffran, Edmond Atkinson, Nate, Administrator Pearson, Nosferatu, Nathan Milbury and Pale Man.
The problem with his character is that Sebastian Shaw was given some of his characteristics and backstory in First class making Mister Sinister some what redundant.
There is a mutant like a vampire called Emplate but I don't think he would make a great villain for the first class sequel.
There is a way to differentiate Sinister from Shaw and Stryker.
All three experiment on mutants. Shaw is a mutant, Stryker a human who hates mutants.
Sinister is a human (or he began as one anyway) who could be portrayed as envying mutants, resenting them, wanting to be one too.
Realising that humanity is heading for extinction and that mutants will be the ones to inherit the Earth, he tries to make himself one and performs experiments on himself. Perhaps he takes mutant DNA in the guise of a medical doctor taking routine blood samples (at an orphanage?), rather than some nasty scientist imprisoning mutants like Stryker.
